In my opinion, most of the people run into the business without experience, first you got to do is get a 3-6 months experience driving for a company, whenever you feel ready, then you start, and about the rates, rates been like this for the past 20 years, in 2021 we have what we call a inflation, loads never been that high as 2021 was, that’s why everybody is fucked up, even myself, i decide to buy a semi truck without experience and that’s what you get.. bank rupt, so for anybody that wants to be in this business (Car hauler), yes, you can make money, even with a 3 car trailers, the problem is everybody is in a rush looking for money, takes like 1-2 years to concret your company so be patient and work hard. Find a good Dispatcher and don’t go crazy about the money, you’ll get there. Hopefully everybody understand lol.
You’re right bro. Starting out in order to grow, you have to be all in. That means if you run out here and get 100k in debt without even picking up a load you’re crazy. First of all you have to build trust and reputation and relationships. You think these shippers gonna let you take their product cause you have a shiny truck? And you gotta put those miles in. You got a wife or girlfriend? Say goodbye.
You gotta spend money to make money and u gotta grind. It depends on how hungry you are. But there’s also multiple hustles that’ll help your truck pay for itself
0:35 shit gave me flash backs to being in my previous work truck with that sound lmao
I started hauling because of you dawg I got a mega cab as well this shit changed my life
hey bro, what dispatch u be using? Central only or is there a few other good ones.
@@alibazzy4078 central and superdispatch .
Great to hear that brother,keep going!🤘
I haul grain in a 18 wheeler haul 15 loads a week I run at night because of the traffic the loads pay $375.00 a load can make good money if you don’t brake down and you will but if you keep your truck in good condition you can make money
Great video🔥🤘
Hey buddy, thx 4 the info.i use to op a 10 car for about 20 yrs.i haven't been in it for about 15 hrs now.whats average rate on a single say 500 mile auction car.backmin early 2000 use to be around 300 out west from Dallas to El paso to 500 from Dallas out east.is that rate still about the same with hot shot today?
How much would a day like this pay?
Don' t think I would have noticed this if I wasn't going threw this for my own business. In Texas, with I think is the most forgiving state when it comes to load length, my single cab 8' bed is just short enough to be legal while retaining its bed, 65ft being the limit for a vehicle trailer combination. Maybe I am making you aware of something or maybe you know. That Kaufman trailer should be 50' and the distance from your front bumper to the ball is longer then 10' on your truck. Straight truck and trailer in NC is 60'. Maybe I am missing something. Enjoyed the content.
7:25 they don’t have lotvision up at manheim in charlotte
I’ve been researching for a while now, because I’m going to get into this business of car, hauling I’ve been seeing a lot of talk from different videos, saying that the rates are low understandable if you’ve been in the game for a long time and have seen good rates like $5 a mile and now seeing it at a $1 a mile but for somebody like me and other people, watching these videos that are barely going to start I say lower down your debt ratio and cost of living for it to be worth it and build up from there because earning 500 a day sounds good to me
This is why the rates are down people like you come into the industry and think 500 is good money. Please stay out carhauling
@@BigeddybLet me clarify: I wasn't suggesting the rates are good. It's about the debt levels skewing the perception of rates. The economy has shifted, and consumers aren't spending like before, leading to fewer available loads for everyone.
I understand your frustration with the current state of the industry. It's challenging when newcomers might have different perceptions of rates. However, I assure you, I'm not entering the industry with the expectation that $500 is substantial. I acknowledge the complexities and difficulties you've experienced,
@@thatscrazy5466 debt and rates aside you guys watch these wannabe influencers on TH-cam that have no skin in the game. Hauling 3 cars won’t even pay for operating cost. There soo much these guys aren’t saying
I’m just saying if your new and have a cdl work for a big car hauling company stack your money and after 2 years make the choice.

@@Bigeddyb I agree right now is not the time to be owner operator and as a new CDL driver, I tend to work for a company to get my experience and then from there make a choice 100%
You have a great truck and trailer. 😅
Thinking about starting??? Tired of my dead end job!! Any advice or tips?
Try to keep your debt to a minimum if you can buy your truck and trailer straight up with out financing that will help you out in the long run and will take a lot of stress off of you,and always keep some capital saved up to the side! hope this helps you and you’ll do great!
Great video so far bro. I transport also, but I parked my equipment because of bs rates. But you giving them some real game. I’m gonna sub to you……
Thank you boss
I'm about to get started as a brand new person jumping into the biz. Trying to also get an older truck I can buy cheap. A friend will rent me out trailer. He has friends that have car lots so those will be my first customers. How many miles would be good to buy a decent older truck with?
my first truck I bought was a 2006 ram 3500 with 300k miles on it,I’ve had it for almost 3 years and it’s still on the road,just make sure you don’t buy a lemon honestly!
How did u go about the insurance watch do I ask them for cuz I want to do hotshot n cars
Go on the FMCSA website or the load board website your going to use and check there requirements for insurance then contact a local commercial insurance agent and see what rates you get.Hope that helps!
How do you test run car hauling lol " get insurance and a dot # if you like it 😂
Go work for a company
Hot shot killed the auto hauling rates when you have guys used to making 200 bucks a day at a normal job they think when they make 500 bucks in a day that they made serious money but that’s before they deduct fuel, insurance and Truck payment/trailer payment and maintenance in my experience hot shot guys usually last a few years or until their trucks break down and they can’t fix it or get repoed because they constantly take loads for prices that don’t make sense they use trucking rates per mile when they should charge by the unit
🔥🔥🔥
thank you for the video. I have a CDL A without experience. I am planning getting into 5-car hauler trailer + RAM 5500 or Ford F-550. Which one would you recommend? I am in Orlando, FL, so where can I search this truck and trailer. I can reach and visit to anywhere in US. How can I learn the set up process. Please recommend me a way. Thank you
Don’t do it no money in it and you live in a market that has the worst rates
Remember, you need a CDL license to haul over 26,000 lbs
So if you get 550 truck your truck light weight might be 7800 lbs, trailer 5200lbs plus the weight you haul, so any combination totaling over 26,000 you need a CDL license
Great advice
thank you!
I bet more trucks are wore out before they are payed for due to how many miles you have to put on one. These trucks are expensive and break downs can empty your bank account.
I’m a trucker and it’s just like any relationship. You can win it all or lose it all if your girl is not built for the long haul. But we have to try…
🔥🔥
Let’s get it💪🔥
You non CDL or CDL?
Dudes got a ram dually and a 3 car trailer he is obviously a CDL driver.
@@gm4210 not exactly I’ve seen dudes run non CDL running about the same setup
@@jxcobr6558 then they are definitely overweight and illegal.
He’s not, CDL is about weight, in a dully Ram with a 3 car trailer you not even get close to 26k Lbs, yes you can get a Ram with a 3 car trailer without a problem.
Car hauling isn’t hotshotting
No it’s not worth it, I’ve been in the car hauling business for over 12 years and now it’s a total joke. Do not take advice from these idiot TH-camrs they will lie and show bullshit just to get TH-cam money.
These prices are jokes lol
Look guys. If you ain't got 100k at least in the bank stay the fuck outta hotshot! Straight up. This ain't a job for 19 year old kids to do! U have to have a 100k setup t0 do this gig. If u got a 60 k setup u will spend 100k regardless on repairs lol! Secondly if u have family or need to sleep in ur own bed stay the fuck away! Lastly. If you can't do math and want to sleep in a motel every night and eat out 3 times a day. Stay working at Costco for 20 bucks! This isn't rocket science this is a job about hustling. So tired of seeing these videos! Ita not about the market it all comes down to u your work ethic and how fast u can figure shit out and keep spending money and being able to push forward. If u really gotta ask if this for u. This isn't for u
